Christina Romer on Bill Maher

[Owlet]

Christina Romer, the former chair of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers on Friday offered a rather strong opinion concerning the announcement by Standard & Poor‘s that the credit rating agency downgraded America’s debt to AA+.
Appearing on HBO’s “Real Time,” Romer said we’re “pretty darn fucked.”
Was she just joking?  You be the judge.  And, yes, the content warning applies:

1. When it comes during a segment of "How Fucked Are We", and...

...and it was taped immediately after the news broke (i.e., they hadn't had time to look at the details), it's not quite the same thing as if it had sprung unbidden while giving a thoughtful opinion.

2. So Tim Geithner swears like a 7th grade boy.

I got a mental picture of him with his pointy ears, cussing like a little demon and poking people with a pitchfork.
